Green baby bedding can be neutral, for those time when an expectant parent chooses not to know the gender of the baby before birth.  It can be a primary choice for either a boy or a girl baby, because both blue and pink easily work into the color scheme.  And, for those times when the parents are expecting more than one child, such as the multiple birth, the green background offers the parents an opportunity to select a single bedding theme for both but allows for gender specific accent colors.

Most notably, safari and jungle prints offer a green background while providing a palette for both blue and pink accent colors while also not forcing one color to be more predominant than the other.  Jungle prints often show colorful animals in tans, orange, blue, pink, and other bright colors.  Safari patterns offer as much variety in colors.

For the parents who experience multiple births, the bumpers can be selected in gender specific colors.  Accessories often allow the parents to indicate gender by traditional colors.  For example, a jungle print pattern may have a selection of mobiles as accessories.  One may have more pink while the other may concentrate on blue.  Diaper hampers and diaper stackers can have the lighter green background while having blue flowers or pink flowers.

Selecting baby bedding with a green background will offer parents an array of decorating possibilities not usually available with either blue or pink bedding.

Choosing Nursery Lamp Shades - as easy as ABC?

Babies or young children and electricity don’t mix yet they are often attracted to the bright light coming from a light bulb.

Bulbs get very hot yet it is only once your child reaches out and touches the bulb that they know this. This means that they can get a nasty fright or even a burn if you are not careful.  It’s important not to leave any easily accessible light bulbs in the nursery. You need to shield every bare bulb with a lamp shade.

You will find some beautiful specialist lamp shades for the nursery and sometimes you will find pendant lamp shades and table lamp shades to match your baby’s or toddler’s bedding. Look out for these.

When placing your lamp take care that your crawling baby or toddler can’t pull over the lamp by grasping the cord. Sometimes you need eyes in the back of your head with a young child!
